Through your education you will be influenced and challenged by numerous amounts of people. It could be from your teachers, coaches, friends, or family members. Many people influenced me but my absolute biggest encourager throughout my education was my other. My mom has been my number one fan, the ultimate tutor, and has helped me decide my career path; my goal is to make my mother proud of all of my accomplishments.
Ever since a very young age, my mom has been helping me with my schoolwork. She attended a catholic school her whole life and graduated college with a Bachelor’s degree. She always wanted me to be the most successful student I could be. I remember coming home from second grade one day after a spelling test. I spelled the word ‘eight’ wrong. Of course when she saw my grade on the spelling test she instantly thought of ways to help me improve my spelling. She started by teaching me how to conquer the word ‘eight’. She actually made a whole song. Similarly to the tune of “Old McDonald Had a Farm”, she started to sing it with new words in order to help me remember how to spell ‘eight’. The song went like “Old McDonald had a farm e-i-g-h-t” instead of it saying, “Old McDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-o”. From that day forward I never forgot how to spell eight. Those little tricks still influence me to this day because I never forgot a single one of them. Even as I continued to get older my mom was constantly helping me out with school projects, studying, and checking my homework. By her putting so much effort into my education it has taught me the value of my schoolwork and continues to encourage me to work diligently.
My mom also played a huge role when it came to me deciding what major I wanted to choose and in what direction I wanted my future to play out. My mom is a Physical Therapist. She is very work oriented and works harder than more people that I know. She is so passionate about helping her patients and getting them back into the work force. Her passion and drive with her profession sparked my interest in the field of therapy. One of my mom’s best friends is a Speech Language Pathologist. I shadowed her one-day and absolutely fell in love with the field. From there the rest is history. I am on the educational path of becoming a SLP. It is all thanks to my mother who inspired me in helping others and bettering our society.
My lifetime goal is to make my mom proud. She has been there for me throughout my whole life. She has put so much time and effort into my education that I want more than anything to make her the most proud parent. Ever since a young age, I would run home with my report card to show my mom how well that I did that year. I have always wanted more than anything for her approval. For me to go to college and to be successful so far I know that she is happy knowing as a parent that she contributed to helping me to get to the place where I am at now.
I am eternally grateful for all of her unconditional love because without it my mom would have never spent so much time assisting me throughout my life. She is my role model and has molded me into the student and person that I am today. Without her encouragement in my education I would have been a completely different student. One that was not as driven and passionate because I did not have the continuous goal of making her proud of me. My own passion without my mom would have been very different compared to the passion I have because of my mom. Because of her work ethic and her passion, I will transform into the person that I want to be in the future and how I want to contribute to helping those in need.
